2. Well, I watched the debate. Bernie and Joe seemed like two

old guys getting in an argument on the porch. I'm really sorry to say that, but it did.

Of course I still support Joe because he'll be the last man standing. AND, he did say he would for sure have a woman on the ticket which is GREAT. So that was good.

AND, he has come out in support of Warren's packages, which is good.

One thing Bernie said that pissed me off was about getting back into Paris. He said, "Who cares?"

Why would you say that? I care. We all know Paris isn't enough, but it is stupid for us not to get back into it, and Bernie was wrong for saying 'who cares?' This is the old purity thing biting us in the butt. Oh, unless you go whole hog in a certain direction and do a, b, c, and d, then none of it is any good. That is the same fallacy that has the socialists wasting their votes on obscure (but ideologically pure) third party candidates instead of voting for the Democrat.

Yeah, the debate did seem a bit absurd, and I'm sorry for that.

Because if Trump wins in November we're fucked.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
